About Us

From day one, our mission has been to create an independent business with a unique culture – one that is controlled by the people who work for it. Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people has always been key to our success.

People come to Howden for many reasons, but they stay for our culture. That’s what sets us apart, and why we nurture and retain top talent. Whether your priorities are work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, or volunteering, you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

With a no-limits approach, we rise to any challenge. We gather the right people to find the best solutions, whether it’s addressing client needs or tackling industry risks. Our collective power helps us to change the insurance narrative—doing right by our clients and using insurance as a tool to build resilience for individuals, businesses, and communities. From pro bono work to insuring COVID-19 vaccine development and de-risking the carbon market, we leverage our skills and networks to make a positive impact.

Current Opportunity

We are actively seeking an Insurance Advisor to join our Watkin Davies team. Our team has grown rapidly over the last 12 years, and we are looking to support further growth by recruiting an additional Advisor. In this role, you will build rapport with new and existing clients and work closely with the Branch Manager to achieve objectives. This is a great opportunity to join a successful organization, where full training and industry-recognized qualifications will be provided.

About You

• You enjoy conversations, listening, and building relationships, understanding client requirements deeply.
• You possess excellent problem-solving skills, capable of creating tailored solutions for each client.
• You may currently work in sales and seek a career change; no prior experience is required as we offer comprehensive training, workshops, coaching, and support for industry qualifications.
• You have a passion and entrepreneurial mindset. Success stories have often come from team members passionate about specific insurance areas like equine, campervans, motorhomes, classic cars, motorbikes, marine, or fine art.
• You are ambitious. We promote from within; all leaders started as Advisors. We provide the tools, and your desire to succeed is what matters.

Rewards

We believe in rewarding great work and dedication with:

• 22 days holiday plus bank holidays, increasing with service
• Core benefits focused on health and financial protection, including life assurance, income protection, and a contributory pension scheme (4% employer, 5% employee contributions, rising to 5%/5% in April 2025)
• Access to a Healthcare Cashplan

Additional lifestyle and financial benefits include:

• Discounts on gym memberships
• Salary sacrifice schemes (Travel Insurance, Cycle to Work, Car leasing, Technology purchase)
• Discounted health policies (Critical illness, private medical, dental)
• Various insurance products available commission-free
• High-street retailer discounts
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)

Our Culture: People First

Founded in 1994, we’ve grown from local experts in London to the largest independent insurance broker worldwide, with 15,000 colleagues across over 100 territories. Our core values include employee ownership, external investment alignment, trust, integrity, expertise, and independence. Our culture emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and empowering our people to challenge conventions and excel.
